Step-by-Step Instructions for Marsala Chicken Orzo
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the orzo. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until tender but al dente. Drain the orzo and set aside, keeping warm.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Sear for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
- In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, thickening slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Plate the dish by placing a scoop of orzo onto each plate. Top with the Marsala chicken and ladle on the sauce from the skillet. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs.
